recently i uploaded a thread where i asked for recommendations for the pc i planned (and still do) on building, however, i have changed it substantially and was wondering if anyone had any tips on my new build? (i plan on gaming @1080p 60fps)

the complete list of components is here https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/VMm629


one thing of note would be the choice of the ryzen 5 2400g and the gtx 1060, this is because i plan on using the 2400g and seeing how effective it is and making a decision of whether to buy a 1060 or not. my main question regarding that is if i do get the gtx 1060, will the 2400g bottleneck it and should i instead get a 2600 and wait. also if i were to get the 2400g, could i run one monitor off that and one off the gtx 1060?


thankyou.

If your budget is in that range, getting a 2600 is a better option. The 2400g is for a cash-strapped person who cant afford a 1060. This is the route you should go for your price range. If you are looking for a cheaper system, ditch the fans, get a 2200g instead of 2400g, and purchase a 2x4gb or 2x8gb 3000mhz DDR4 ram kit instead of 2400mhz. For an APU only system Ram speed is crucial. Either direction you choose, it is also worth spending the extra 15 dollars on a B450 motherboard for guaranteed compatibility, less headaches, and the option to overclock if you desire to explore it. Otherwise, your build looks great. (P.S. the Masterbox Q300L is also a great case at the same price as your THermaltake)
